TIP Project No. R-2809A Wake County
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will hold a Public
Meeting on Tuesday, April 29, 2008, between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. in
the Ledford Center, located on the campus of the Southeastern Baptist Theological
Seminary, at 120 S. Wingate Street, Wake Forest, 27587. The meeting will be held in
Multi-Purpose Room I, located on the second floor of the Ledford Center.
NCDOT representatives will be available at the informal Pre-Meeting Open
House between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. to answer questions and
receive comments about the project. Interested citizens may attend any time during
the above mentioned hours.
A formal presentation will begin at 7:30 pm. The presentation will consist of a
general description of the project and will include an explanation of the proposed
construction processes, noise wall locations, traffic control phasing and other project
related issues. An opportunity will be provided for citizens' comments and questions
as part of the formal presentation.
NCDOT proposes to construct the remaining section of the Wake Forest
Bypass on a new location, south of existing NC 98. The proposed NC 98 Bypass will
remove through traffic from local streets and provide a connector to the major roads
in the area. This will improve traffic service and safety for the area.

Resident Engineer, at P.O. Box 1018, Youngsville, NC 27596-1018, phone (919)
